Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1302: The Shi Family’s Dirty Laundry
Pointing her finger at Shi Qiwan, Shi Sanlang's wife continued, "Because you ran away from your marriage, we are now in debt, and Mother was so angered by you that she had a stroke. Even so, you are still unwilling to stop. You even demanded that we pay you 100 yuan as compensation."
"Mother, Father, and your brothers raised you for so many years, yet this is how you repay them? Where is your conscience, ah?" she asked angrily.
Hearing her third sister-in-law's words, Shi Qiwan's face turned even paler. She clenched her fists and was speechless. She had never expected that because of her, her mother would fall ill like this.
Seeing how shocked her mother was, Liu Fuyan felt angry. She stood in front of her mother, blocking her uncle's wife's glare.
Looking at her aunts and uncles, she said, "Uncle, Aunt, you say my mother has no conscience, but what about all of you? Have you ever treated my mother as family?"
"Let's not talk about what my mother suffered in your Shi family's house before she got married. Even after she married my father, she still subsidized your Shi family."

"Every few days, you would come asking for food and money. Has my mother ever refused you even once? Never."
"Every year on distribution day, you would come and take away our Li family's meat. Has my mother ever refused you even once? Never!"
"You would come and tell my mother to bring me and my brother back, saying you missed us. But the truth was, you wanted to force us to work like slaves in your house. Has my mother ever said no? Never!"
"Because your family leeched off my mother and forced her to support your useless husbands, my mother was divorced by my father."
"When she returned to your Shi family, you not only didn't treat her well, you couldn't even wait a few days before trying to sell her off to an old man just to repair your house."
"When my mother refused to remarry, you locked her up and beat her. You even tied her up! Who here has no conscience?!"
"If people like you still have the audacity to shout and curse, why should my mother feel ashamed just for trying to live a good life? Is it her fault for being born a daughter? Was it her choice to be born into your Shi family?"
"My mother had no choice—she is the victim! So, as someone who eats my mother's food and uses my mother's money, what right do you have to condemn her?!" Liu Fuyan asked angrily.
Due to her rage, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
When the villagers heard her words, they were stunned. Most of them hadn't known the full story and had only heard one side. They never expected that so many secrets lay behind the Shi family's disputes.
The Shi family's members were shocked by Liu Fuyan's words. They had never taken this little girl seriously, thinking of her as a waste of money and too young to understand things.
But today, they finally realized how wrong they were. This little girl's words were as sharp as Liu Hua's!
Standing to the side, Dong Li's eyes darkened when he saw the tears in Liu Fuyan's eyes. It was normal for a little girl to cry, but for some unknown reason, seeing her tears made him angry. She shouldn't be shedding tears for these people.
With this thought, he walked over and shielded her from the Shi family. Standing in front of her, he said, "Aunty, forcing someone to get married is equal to human trafficking."
"You are being asked to compensate Aunt Qiwan not because she hates you or wants revenge, but because your family violated the law and is being punished accordingly. What's more, the compensation was the production team's decision and has nothing to do with Aunt Qiwan."
"If your Shi family feels this is unfair, you can go find the team leader. What's your intention in coming here to make trouble? Do you think your family is above the law?" he asked meaningfully.
When the villagers heard his words, they nodded in agreement.
One of them said, "I was there when they tied up Shi Qiwan and forced her to get married. She was clearly unwilling. The Shi family is at fault yet they still come to ask for an explanation. Their faces are really thick!"
At that moment, an old woman scoffed, and replied, "What's wrong with parents deciding their children's marriages? Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Since when do children have the right to decide for themselves?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jianmin let out a chuckle and asked, "Old granny, you should be careful with your words. The revolution is also about changing mindsets."
"Women can also hold up half the sky, just like men. If women can do the same things men can, why can't they also decide their own marriages?"
"The ones spending their entire lives in these marriages are them, not their families or parents. So what right do parents have to make such decisions for their future?"
The old woman was flustered by his words but refused to back down. She still had several granddaughters at home who had yet to marry, and she planned to marry them off to older men who could offer higher bride prices.
If they started rebelling like Shi Qiwan, wouldn't her family face countless troubles in the future?
With this thought, the old woman spat and said, "Because we, as parents, gave you life!"
Hearing this, Chen Jianmin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Did you ask for our consent or opinion before giving birth to us?"
When everyone heard his words, they were stunned.
Who would ask a baby if they wanted to be born? What's more, even if they did, could a baby even answer?
This boy was clearly spouting nonsense!
